The Downtown Live After 5 concert series makes its return to the Houma Courthouse on Main Street May 25.
Blue Eyed Soul will perform from 5 to 10 p.m.
The concert series is held the last Friday of the month through November. (Because of Thanksgiving, the final concert is held the last Wednesday of the month in November.)
Concert-goers are invited to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the free show, said event organizer Ann Picou.
“Our whole outlook is to get people downtown and, hopefully, they will flourish into the eateries and do some shopping while they are there,” she said.
The concert series continues to be a popular draw.
“Each year, we get more and more people,” Picou said. “We are very fortunate for that. Each year we try to keep it family-oriented and everyone enjoys it.”
Downtown Live After 5 is sponsored by the Downtown Business Association and the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government.
Buquet Distributing Company will be on hand to sell beverages, and food vendors are also cooking up a selection of items.
The concert series is most known for attracting premium local talent.
The Blue Eyed Soul Revue was formed in October 1984 by Michael Vice, band leader and saxophonist. Known for its nod to its R&B and Rock ‘n’ Roll roots, the 8-member band has quickly made a name for itself across south Louisiana.
